F2 Reg/Rec Loom Plug

[looey]

Ok, latest problem with my Hybrid after finally getting it running properly and sorting oil leaks etc.....IT NOW HAS A CHARGING PROBLEM !!!

Battery only showing 13.5v at 2,000rpm with no lights on, and battery voltage actually drops at any revs with the lights on .

Going to investigate further tomorrow, but already noticed that the wiring to the Reg/Rec is 4 individual female spades crimped onto the end of the loom, so would like to get that sorted by re-fitting the correct type of plug to the loom.

Anyone by any chance have an old connector from a chopped/knackered loom I could buy to re-fit, or know where I could buy the correct type of plug to fit into an F2 Reg/Rec ?.

Cheers

Andy, I have always run a 4L0/31K type reg/rec on my hybrid with an F2 stator and it works fine. They are heavily finned and a lot more robust than the F2 type. Easy to wire in too, just the 3 white wires, thick red, ground and a brown

Aahhhh, that's useful to know. If it turns out to be the reg/rec that's faulty, then maybe the 4L0/31K will be the way to go.

The F2 type is only 4 wire isn't it ?, where do the other 2 wires come from ?...

I think the F2 reg/rec has three white wires plus a red. It must earth through it's body. The 4L0 has a black wire for earth, 3 whites, a red and a brown. Not quite sure what the brown wire is for but it connects to the fuse box so you could probably connect it to any brown as they are all common.
